The Road to Depth: Thinking about what Character Is

David Brooks: Some people seem to lead inner lives that are richer and more substantive than the rest of us. How do they do it? This talk is a survey of some of history's most substantive characters. How love, suffering, struggle, surrender and obedience lead them to their depth. Each June, the Aspen Ideas Festival welcomes the public to join the world’s most influential leaders—innovators in business, academia, public policy, science, and the arts—who are shaping the future. Engage in thought-provoking panels, intimate roundtables, and spontaneous conversations across our stunning 40-acre, art-filled campus in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Leave Aspen inspired to make a lasting impact in your community and beyond. #AspenIdeas Discover more and learn how to participate at https://www.aspenideas.org.
